There's a lot that players still don't understand about , including a secret dialogue scene that no one knows how to trigger. It makes sense, since is such a highly reactive game. Even the simplest-seeming chain of cause and effect can have so much going on behind the scenes, hundreds of branching paths left unexplored and cutscenes left unwatched. While players have already begun to discover the limits of what can do, there are still new secrets being uncovered every day. Even this far out from release, there are probably plenty of options that haven't even been found.
Genius Baldur’s Gate 3 Player Uses Sheep Magic to Recruit the Evil Minthara During Good Playthrough
09.10.2023 - 13:35 / ign.com
Baldur’s Gate 3 is a game jam-packed with consequences. Make this decision here, expect to see its effect there. It had been thought that recruiting one particularly evil character during the first act of the game was incompatible with a good playthrough, but one genius player came up with a workaround — using sheep magic.
Baldur’s Gate 3 spoilers are ahead. Will you press on, desperate for knowledge, or turn back, safe from the horror that awaits? [Spoken in the voice of the Narrator, for emphasis].
Let’s start with some background. Minthara is a ruthless Drow encountered in Act 1 and found in the Shattered Sanctum, inside the Goblin Camp. She’s one of three Goblin leaders, and is desperate to assault the nearby druid Grove, which the player can choose to protect or attack, as well as a few options in between.
If you side with Minthara in Act 1, you may recruit her later in the game. But siding with Minthara means committing a few unspeakable horrors. For a start, you must betray the druids and the tieflings in the grove, killing some or all of them. Do this and both Wyll and Karlach permanently leave your party, with Gale close to doing so as well unless you're able to convince him otherwise. There is no way to avoid this exodus.
But! As reported by Eurogamer, one player, called pao870111, came up with a way to have your cake and eat it. That is, a way to "enjoy" the company of the evil Minthara in your party while keeping everyone who’s on the right-thinking side of society sweet. And yes, this is without mods.
Redditor ZookeepergameDeep360 translated and verified the strategy, based on pao870111’s discovery. Here we go!
Step one: knock Minthara out then kill the other two goblin leaders in Act One.
Step two: return to Halsin’s quest to kill the three goblin leaders before taking a long rest. After, Minthara will respawn. Leave her be for now.
Step three: during Act Two, go to Moonrise Towers and activate the waypoint.
Step four: after reaching level seven, learn spells Polymorph and Dominate Beast. You need to spread these two spells across two characters, as they both require Concentration later.
Step five: return to the Goblin Camp and use Polymorph to turn Minthara into a sheep. Then, use Dominate Beast to make her a companion.
Step six: Click on the Minthara-sheep icon and teleport to Moonrise Towers, drink an Elixir of Hill Giant Strength to improve, you guessed it, your strength. Then use the class action Improvised Melee Weapon to bring Minthara-sheep (that’s what we’re calling her now) to Ketheric Thorm’s private room. Make sure to set Minthara-sheep down gently, because if you throw her, she may turn hostile and attack you.
(It sounds like this bit is super fiddly and takes a while, so save scum
